7 Tips for Getting The Most Out of Your Realtor’s Expert Opinion
Pricing
1. Trying to pick the perfect price can be tricky especially if you do not know the market. This is why having an expert with you can come in handy. You may think your house is priced fairly but real estate agents know the market and can help find the right price that works for both the buyers and the sellers. Just know it isn’t personal, it’s the market.
2. If you still do not want to budge on your price try to step into the shoes of the buyer. Would you pay that price?
3. Don’t think that starting at a high price can be easily negotiated to a price you are comfortable selling it for. Most buyers don’t feel comfortable going back and forth negotiating and will go for a home in their price range.
4. Ask your realtor to show you other properties at your current price range so you can see what buyers are expecting. This is one way to see first-hand the competition at the same price range of your house and to show you what buyers are expecting at this price.
Staging
5. It is hard to think that some people may not think your design style is for them. That is why when putting your house on the market it is important to decorate for the large market not your personal taste. Remember, now that your house is on the market it is a product trying to be sold.
6. It is easy to get distracted from the main goal which is selling your house. Try to keep this in mind when making staging decisions.
Accessibility for Showings
7. Not everyone has the flexibility to leave at any time in order to show the house. Try to set up a plan with your agent once your house goes on the market so when last minute showings come up it is not overwhelming.
